Happy Canada Day!

Oddly enough, was watching a Hallmark Channel movie featuring Brooke White from American Idol yesterday filmed in Canada but with a Fourth of July festival as the big ending. I can imagine the AD telling the background performers (don't call us extras) how to act...."be drunk, fat and loud, you know eh? Typical Americans..."

Always feel bad for those poor Mounties having to wear the full gear in some of the hottest weather of the year during parades.

So Canada - Here's To ya!

 

It's the Snowbirds, the Royal Canadian Air Force's Air Demonstration Squadron, similar to our Blue Angels and/or Thunderbirds, performing on Canada Day.

 

Tom Brokaw explains Canada to Americans.

And happy Canada Day my fellow hosers

 

... and no hockey game involving a Canadian team, so no convenient way to hear "O, Canada."

Ah well ... all the best to our stellar friends North of the Border. Hope it's a good one.

 

Approves.



Disapproves.

 

A Toronto convenience store owner sums up the day nicely.

 

The USA is Canada's Mexico

 

Didn't the Blue Jays play at home today?

 

Good Day, eh?

Hockey, man, hockey. Already seen the Jays and SkyDome (twice ... and I'll willingly go back ... ). It was the first of its kind ...

 

I've been celebrating all day with Caesars and several 50s, while sitting on the chesterfield and watching tapes. Mostly Hinterland Who's Who, Friendly Giant, and Tommy Hunter. There will be Stompin' Tom Karaoke later. I'll fetch a beer, but I'm almost out of Clamato.

 

I wore a white shirt, a red tie and put a hockey story on my front page (local kid got taken in the NHL Draft). I'm sure I said sorry to someone.

All told, I think I did my part. Though I should have made poutine.
